Sou brasileira e fiquei nesse hostel. É bem localizado e tudo você faz sozinho. Não há pessoas para o checkin lá na hora, você receberá instruções por mensagem no celular . Eu peguei um quarto só para mim e fez toda a diferença. Estar sozinha é bem melhor do que compartilhar o quarto. O preço foi ótimo. O hostel é limpo, banheiro e chuveiro bons. O hostel é meio barulhento, pessoas fazem muito barulho mas faz parte. A cama também é de metal e barulhenta. Mas minha estadia foi tranquila. Ter um carro é essencial para a viagem a salt lake city porém você pode fazer tudo com o trem que é excelente também. Para ir ao hostel eu utilizei o trem diretamente do aeroporto e foi muito tranquilo e rápido e barato, fácil acesso ao hostel. Para quem gosta da escola do HSM, fica perto de lá aproximadamente 8 minutos de carro. Vale a pena ficar nesse hostel. Recomendo pegar um quarto com single bad se for ficar mais de 2 dias no hostel. A estadia foi excelente e nenhum problema. Eu recomendo.

1st & foremost this place is CLEAN. We came to SLC for a getaway from our kids, but didn't really have the money to spend on a hotel. We stayed in room A5 which had a queen bed. UTA Trax is super close, and the area is very walkable. We bought a last minute groupon to a Jazz game. We walked, stopped for a drink, and then went to the Delta Center. At that point we hadn't realized how trax had worked but the next day we used it to go to the mall and then to go out to an R&B show. The only complaint i have is that the lights in the hallway are VERY intense. So if you need to pee in the middle of the night its pretty shocking. But as i said so many positives cleanliness, price, location....truly a gem!

Great clean inexpensive friendly convenient hotel!
What a great place. Clean, everything was new, although the property is unmanned. That took some getting used to. But the room is clean and bright. Bathrooms and showers are brand new and spotless. Full kitchen (no oven) and huge fridge/ freezer. Very quiet which is important to me. Great location and those local scooters get you anywhere.

The entire hostel is self service, meaning that there is no staff on hand. If you have problems with anything you are supposed to call the manager. I paid $45 for a private room, which was clean, but it was the size of a jail cell and had the personality of one as well. The room was about 12x10, with enough room for a cheap steel frame bed and a thin mattress. There was only one pillow which was so thin I had to fold it in half to make it function. The walls and door to the room was so thin that I could hear everything happening in the rooms around mine and the halls all echoed, so that I could hear everything out side the room. The whole place had a depressing, abandoned feel to it but I knew it wasn’t abandoned because I heard people through the thin walls and door all night.

Couldn't get into my room because there was no key
Got to the hotel, went to the, went to the check-in process. Unlock to the key box to my room to find there was no key in the box. After repeated calls and texts for over an hour I could get no response. There was no on-site staff to let me in my room. I was forced to book another hotel room for the night after a very long day. Very upset about this entire ordeal.

A great stay for the solo traveler.
SLC hostel is a great choice for the solo traveler. Just a block away from the TRAX. Which gives you access to downtown, airport and around the region. It has the amenities you’d expect at a hostel such as separate kitchen, shower rooms, bathrooms but, I never had any competition to use these during my stay. Self check in was easy, I also like that they allow you to store luggage (for a fee) after checkout so you can spend your last day in SLC exploring without lugging around your bags. The management is easy to reach and was able to assist within 10 minutes.

The place is clean but that’s all it has going for it. It’s especially disappointing how they try to charge you extra fees at every single corner. Most hostels have pad-lockable cabinets in the rooms for each guest, this place wants $7 extra PER DAY. And they make you do everything yourself, there is no service other than a daily morning cleaning of the common areas. Worst hostel I’ve been to anywhere in the US by far.
